How It Works

Nasal flare treatment uses expertly placed neuromodulator injections to relax the muscles responsible for widening your nostrils during smiling or facial expression. Tiny doses are injected alongside the nostrils, subtly reducing their outward movement and creating a more refined, balanced nasal appearance — without surgery or downtime. This quick procedure enhances symmetry and gently narrows the nostril base, while preserving your natural facial expressiveness.

What It Targets

Patients seek Nasal Flare treatments to:

  • Minimize excessive nostril flaring with expression or smiling
  • Create a more harmonious, proportionate nose shape
  • Refine nasal appearance with a subtle, non-surgical alternative

Benefits

Nasal Flare benefits include:

  • Naturally narrower, more symmetrical nostrils
  • Improved balance and harmony of facial features
  • Full, natural movement — no stiffness or artificial look
  • Fast, comfortable treatment with zero downtime
  • Subtle results that last for months, leaving you camera-ready and confident

Questions?

We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.

Am I a good candidate for a nasal flare injection?

Ideal candidates are individuals bothered by prominent nostril flaring or a wide nose during facial movement, yet want to avoid surgery and retain the natural shape of their nose at rest.

How soon will I see results and how long do they last?

Results usually become visible within 3–7 days, with full effects in about two weeks. The refined, less-flared look typically lasts 3–4 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended.

Is it painful or is there downtime for a nasal flare injection?

The procedure is fast and causes minimal discomfort — most people feel only a tiny pinch. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection site, which resolves quickly, and there’s little to no downtime.

Will my breathing or smile be affected?

No it will not! With precise dosing and our expert technique, normal breathing and most facial expressions are preserved.

Can nasal flare treatments be combined with other nose procedures?

Absolutely — treatments for nasal flare can be paired with nose tip lift, bunny line smoothing, or filler for further nasal refinement and harmony. We recommend booking an injectable consultation with one of our experts to create a custom treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."
